How To Stay Safe And Secure While Using Facebook[Best Safety Tips]

Facebook has now acquired a prominent place among the social
networking websites, it is now said to be the GOOGLE of social networks.
Literally if you are uploading your personal details on Facebook it means you
are exposing yourself to the World Wide Web. We often dispersed some of our
very personal details on Facebook which we never intended to share on a usual
basis.

Yes, it's a fact that Facebook might be a safe place to
share personal details if you are making a proper use of the Facebook privacy
settings by covering the personal info from the strangers and unidentified
users.

We oftentimes hear about several Facebook accounts getting
hacked frequently by suspicious hackers and it's obvious. One of my friend's
user id also got hacked recently, and the same thing might occur with any of
your Facebook friends as they are many and we could not identify the hacked
account specifically. This is one of the most worried issues, we cannot figure
out that who is viewing your personal information.

Is it your friend?

Or someone else in your friend's id?

How To Stay Safe On Facebook

An offense associated with Facebook is disclosed to cops
each 40 mins. Not too long ago, officers logged 12,300 suspected offences
concerning the immensely popular online community site Facebook was referenced
in findings of murder, rape, child sexual activity offences, infiltration,
kidnap, loss of life threats, witness intimidation as well as scams.

Previously, the Daily Mail (UK) exposed several criminals
are actually making use of the Facebook to bother their victims from behind the
bars.Prison officialsidentified 350 prisoners using Facebook in
the past two years, utilizing forbiddenmobile phones smuggled into cells.

Your safety is much more important.You are not supposed to
be careless with the safety of your family. I don't tend to discourage anyone
from using Facebook even i have got a Facebook account and i log in to it
daily. I am just making an urge to stay safe while using it.

Avoid sharing
the following details on your Facebook account:

How To Stay Safe On Facebook

Current
Full Address

If you had already mentioned your current residence in your
Facebook profile.You are required to think again over it, you are overshooting
the mark somewhere. It is not at all mandatory to specify your current
residence, Facebook never demands their users for such an extremely personal
details. Therefore, I recommend avoiding it.

Don't
Reveal Your Holiday Plans

People often post check-in while hanging out with friends
and family tagging their actual live location. It’s a cool feature on Facebook
but one should not post check in while not been at home for a couple of days.
If you are revealing your holiday plan of a whole week on Facebook you are
literally inviting thieves to rob your home.

Don't
Reveal That Your Parents or Guardians Are Out

Don't make broad strokes on facebook about the fact that you
are alone at home tonight as your parents and guardians have been out for a
late night party.It might be dangerous if this fact gets in the visibility of
some criminal minded person.It is a prior duty of parents and care takers to
make sure that the kids are not uploading such status on facebook.

Don't
Reveal Your Emotional State

Don't post about your breakups or any other emotional
breakdowns.Don't develop an opportunity for scammers to take a wrong advantage
of your emotional state.When a person is emotionally down or broken the chances
of getting scammed increases to a much large extent.It is more recommended for
girls as the stalkers would love to stalk a newly single girl and it may cause
problems for her...So to stay safe we must avoid updating such kind of statuses on Facebook.

Final Words:

Facebook has nowadays become a very insecureand unsound place where lots of offences occur as explained above.So you all must followthe above explained safety tips while surfing Facebook and share it withyour friends.
